Design of a Wearable Sensor System for Prevention of Fatigue-Induced Injuries in Baseball Pitching

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries are increasingly common in baseball pitchers of all levels and often are career ending. The aim of this project was to develop a wearable sensor system to quantify risk of UCL injury in baseball pitchers through correlation with fatigue indicated by deviations in forces and torques in the throwing arm during pitching. The outcome of this project was a wearable sensor and data analysis system which could be applicable to predicting risk of injury

Designing a Forest Stewardship Council Community Campaign for Wellington Zoo

Wellington Zoo in New Zealand is starting a community campaign supporting Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to promote sustainable forestry practices. Our project evaluated community perceptions of FSC and designed components for the campaign. To accomplish this, we conducted consumer surveys, administered semi-structured interviews, and reviewed past conservation campaigns. From this research, we designed components for a campaign such as interactive exhibitions, social media outreach strategies, and partnership programs with outside organizations
